The high-efficiency modern agricultural demonstration park is a new development mode of Chinese agriculture, and plays a very important role in promoting agricultural development. This paper establishes the framework of the modern high-efficiency agricultural demonstration park from six aspects, namely, development orientation, function composition, comprehensive planning, smart construction, standardized construction and innovation construction. The results show that these aspects are influenced by several factors or set up by several modules, and form the symbiotic network of the park. Positioning realistic development targets, arranging function division, allocating infrastructure, and integrating smart, standardized & innovative technologies will ultimately enhance the ecological, economic and social benefits of the park.

( Shaowei Liu ),( Weimin Lei ),( Wei Zhang ),( Hao Li ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2017 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.11 No.8

IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is an open standardized architecture for delivering multimedia service over IP network in a route-agnostic manner. With the increasing popularity of conversational class service, the delivery of a traffic flow with a certain bandwidth demand over a single network path is either not possible or not cost-effective. Multipath transmission is considered to be a promising solution to provide high-quality delivery service. This paper proposes a software defined service overlay network (SDSON) based multipath transmission framework for IMS, which is complementary to existing network architecture. The framework transforms original two-party session negotiation into three-party session negotiation that supports participants to negotiate multipath transmission capacity and path information by signaling message. Based on existing IETF standards, SIP and SDP are scalable to support these functions. Finally, the proposed framework is fully implemented on open source platform and examined by experiments. Experimental results show that multipath-enabled IMS is an effective way to improve the delivery performance of conversational class service.

MPMTP-AR: Multipath Message Transport Protocol Based on Application-Level Relay

( Shaowei Liu ),( Weimin Lei ),( Wei Zhang ),( Xiaoshi Song ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2017 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.11 No.3

Recent advancements in network infrastructures provide increased opportunities to support data delivery over multiple paths. Compared with multi-homing scenario, overlay network is regarded as an effective way to construct multiple paths between end devices without any change on the underlying network. Exploiting multipath characteristics has been explored for TCP with multi-homing device, but the corresponding exploration with overlay network has not been studied in detail yet. Motivated by improving quality of experience (QoE) for reliable data delivery, we propose a multipath message transport protocol based on application level relay (MPMTP-AR). MPMTP-AR proposes mechanisms and algorithms to support basic operations of multipath transmission. Dynamic feedback provides a foundation to distribute reasonable load to each path. Common source decrease (CSD) takes the load weight of the path with congestion into consideration to adjust congestion window. MPMTP-AR uses two-level sending buffer to ensure independence between paths and utilizes two-level receiving buffer to improve queuing performance. Finally, the MPMTP-AR is implemented on the Linux platform and evaluated by comprehensive experiments.

An adaptive marine predator algorithm based optimization method for hood lightweight design

Zhang Chenglin,He Zhicheng,Li Qiqi,Chen Yong,Chen Shaowei,NIE XINYU 한국CDE학회 2023 Journal of computational design and engineering Vol.10 No.3

The lightweight design of the hood is crucial for the structural optimization of an entire vehicle. However, traditional high-fidelity-based lightweight methods are time-consuming due to the complex structures of the hood, and the lightweight results heavily rely on engineering experiences. To this end, an improved adaptive marine predator algorithm (AMPA) is proposed to solve this problem. Compared to the original marine predator algorithm (MPA), the proposed AMPA adapts to optimization problems through three enhancements, including chaotic theory-based initialization, a mixed search strategy, and dynamic partitioning of iteration phases. Experimental comparisons of AMPA, MPA, and eight state-of-the-art algorithms are conducted on IEEE CEC2017 benchmark functions. AMPA outperforms the others in both 30- and 50-dimensional experiments. Friedman and Wilcoxon’s sign-rank tests further confirm AMPA’s superiority and statistical significance. An implicit parametric model of the hood is generated, and the critical design variables are determined through global sensitivity analysis to realize hood lightweight. The stacking method is employed to construct a surrogate meta-model of the hood to accelerate the optimization efficiency of the vehicle hood. Utilizing the meta-model and the proposed AMPA, the hood mass is reduced by 7.43% while all six static and dynamic stiffness metrics are enhanced. The effectiveness of the proposed optimization method is validated through finite element analysis.

Study on the influence of flow blockage in severe accident scenario of CAP1400 reactor

Gao Pengcheng,Zhang Bin,Li Jishen,Miao Fan,Tang Shaowei,Cao Sheng,Yang Hao,Shan Jianqiang 한국원자력학회 2023 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.55 No.3

Deformed fuel rods can cause a partial blockage of the flow area in a subchannel. Such flow blockage will influence the core coolant flow and further the core heat transfer during the reflooding phase and subsequent severe accidents. Nevertheless, most of the system analysis codes simulate the accident process based on the assumed flow blockage ratio, resulting in inconsistencies between simulated results and actual conditions. This paper aims to study the influence of flow blockage in severe accident scenario of the CAP1400 reactor. First, the flow blockage model of ISAA code is improved based on the FRTMB module. Then, the ISAA-FRTMB coupling system is adopted to model and calculate the QUENCH-LOCA- 0 experiment. The correctness and validity of the flow blockage model are verified by comparing the peak cladding temperature. Finally, the DVI Line-SBLOCA accident is induced to analyze the influence of flow blockage on subsequent CAP1400 reactor core heat transfer and core degradation. From the results of the DVI Line-SBLOCA accident analysis, it can be concluded that the blockage ratio is in the range of 40%e60%, and the position of severe blockage is the same as that of cladding rupture. The blockage reduces the circulation area of the core coolant, which in turn impacts the heat exchange between the core and the coolant, leading to the early failure and collapse of some core assemblies and accelerating the core degradation process.

Zhonghua Yu,Wei Li,Shaowei Zhang,Buqing Zhong,Jun Wang,이시영,최재혁,Shulin Deng 인간식물환경학회 2022 인간식물환경학회지 Vol.25 No.4

Background and objective: The area of mangroves is gradually decreasing globally, and mangroves are already one of the most threatened ecosystems. Despite net growth in the mangrove areas in China, the restoration potential of mangroves is still insufficient. This study proposed the Random forest model as an excellent data mining method to map the restoration potential based on the predicted probability of mangrove habitat suitability. Methods: We demonstrated the vital environmental variables influencing habitat suitability. The de-cisive advantages of RFM were parsimonious (variables selection), cost-effective (us-ing existing open-source data), accurate (training AUC was 0.89, testing AUC was 0.91), highly efficient (fast-training speed); and its results had high explanatory power. Here, we first mapped the conservation gaps using the RFM. Results: The results showed that temperature was the most important environmental factor influencing the habitat suit-ability of mangroves. The northern limit of suitable areas was around 24°44' N. The theoretical suitable habitat area for mangrove was 196,566.6 ha (the highly suitable area was 32,551.4 ha, the medium suitable area was 164,015.2 ha). The potential area for mangrove restoration was 176,264 ha (Guangdong with 104215.4 ha, Guangxi with 65957.5 ha). Conclusion: We proposed 24 sites with conservation gaps for mangrove forests restoration and nine potential sites as examples for the further restoration plan. We took one example site with high restoration potential for further explanation: how the key environmental factors influence the habitat suitability and how to use the infor-mation to guide the restoration strategies. RFM can be used as a data mining algo-rithm for the utmost use of the presence-only ecological data, objectively evaluating the suitability of species distribution, and providing scientifically technical data for species restoration planning.

Zhongfei Liu,Jiangtao Yuan,HUI ZHANG,Kuangwei Xiong,Shaowei Jin,Peihong Wang 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2019 NANO Vol.14 No.1

In this paper, the MOFs-derived carbonaceous ZnO and RGO (carbonaceous ZnO/RGO) composites have been prepared by the wet chemical method and carbonization process. The as-prepared products are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectra, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electromagnetic parameters of carbonaceous ZnO/RGO composites are investigated by the vector network analyzer. The results exhibit carbonaceous ZnO/RGO composites have a maximum absorption of - 37.12 dB at 6 GHz with thickness of 3.5 mm and the effective absorption (below -10 dB) bandwidth is up to 1.92 GHz (from 5.28 to 7.2 GHz). Thus, the carbonaceous ZnO/RGO composites have great potential in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption.

Fabrication of self-reinforcement of porous mullite ceramic using NH4F as additive from kaolinite

Lei Yuan,Jingkun Yu,Rutao Ye,Shaowei Zhang 한양대학교 세라믹연구소 2013 Journal of Ceramic Processing Research Vol.14 No.4

Self-reinforcement of porous mullite ceramics containing needle-liked whiskers were fabricated from a powder mixture of kaolinite, Al(OH)3 and starch with NH4F as additive. The effects of the sintering temperature and the content of NH4F on porosity, phase composition, strength and microstructure of ceramics were investigated. The formation mechanism of needleliked mullite whiskers by in situ synthesis in ceramic body was discussed. The results indicated that lots of large aspect ratio needle-liked mullite whiskers, especially in the 15% NH4F additive sample, were observed. An interlocking structure was formed by needle-liked mullite whiskers to enhance the mechanical strength of porous mullite ceramic. And as the content of NH4F increasing, the bending strength increased. Comparing to the samples without NH4F additive, porous ceramic fabricated by adding NH4F showed a higher degree of mullitization. The formation mechanism of the needle-liked mullite in the ceramic was attributed to the reaction among NH4F and raw materials.

Ye Yuanjian,Zhong Haobo,Huang Shoubin,Lai Weiqiang,Huang Yizhi,Sun Chunhan,Zhang Yanling,Zheng Shaowei 한국조직공학과 재생의학회 2023 조직공학과 재생의학 Vol.20 No.6

BACKGROUND: Implantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is a potential alternative for promoting bone defects healing or osseointegration in osteoporosis. However, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulated and excessive inflammation in the osteoporotic microenvironment could weaken the self-replication and multi-directional differentiation of transplanted BMSCs. METHODS: In this study, to improve the hostile microenvironment in osteoporosis, Poloxamer 407 and hyaluronic acid (HA) was crosslinked to synthetize a thermos-responsive and injectable hydrogel to load MnO2 nanoparticles as a protective carrier (MnO2@Pol/HA hydrogel) for delivering BMSCs. RESULTS: The resulting MnO2@Pol/HA hydrogel processed excellent biocompatibility and durable retention time, and can eliminate accumulated ROS effectively, thereby protecting BMSCs from ROS-mediated inhibition of cell viability, including survival, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. In osteoporotic bone defects, implanting of this BMSCs incorporated MnO2@Pol/HA hydrogel significantly eliminated ROS level in bone marrow and bone tissue, induced macrophages polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype, decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNFa, IL-1b, and IL-6) and osteogenic related factors (e.g., TGF-b and PDGF). CONCLUSION: This hydrogel-based BMSCs protected delivery strategy indicated better bone repair effect than BMSCs delivering or MnO2@Pol/HA hydrogel implantation singly, which providing a potential alternative strategy for enhancing osteoporotic bone defects healing.

Songlin Yu,Weiyan Zhou,Xinqi Cheng,Qinghui Meng,Honglei Li,Li’an Hou,Jun Lu,Shaowei Xie,Qian Cheng,Chuanbao Zhang,Ling Qiu 대한진단검사의학회 2019 Annals of Laboratory Medicine Vol.39 No.4

Background: Accurate serum total thyroxine (TT4) measurement is important for thyroid disorder diagnosis and management. We compared the performance of six automated immunoassays with that of isotope-diluted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) as the reference method. We also evaluated the correlation of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) with TT4 measured by ID-LC-MS/MS and immunoassays. Methods: Serum was collected from 156 patients between October 2015 and January 2016. TT4 was measured by immunoassays from Abbott (Architect), Siemens (ADVIA Centaur XP), Roche (E601), Beckman-Coulter (Dxi800), Autobio (Autolumo A2000), and Mindray (CL-1000i), and by ID-LC-MS/MS. Results were analyzed using Passing–Bablok regression and Bland–Altman plots. Minimum requirements based on biological variation were as follows: a mean bias of ≤4.5% and total imprecision (CV) of ≤3.7%. Results: All immunoassays showed a correlation >0.945 with ID-LC-MS/MS; however, the slope of the Passing–Bablok regression line varied from 0.886 (Mindray) to 1.23 (Siemens) and the intercept from -12.8 (Siemens) to 4.61 (Mindray). Only Autobio, Beckman-Coulter, and Roche included the value of one in the 95% confidence interval for slope. The mean bias ranged from -10.8% (Abbott) to 9.0% (Siemens), with the lowest value noted for Roche (3.5%) and the highest for Abbott (-10.8%). Only Abbott and Roche showed within-run and total CV ≤3.7%. Conclusions: Though all immunoassays correlated strongly with ID-LC-MS/MS, most did not meet the minimum clinical requirement. Laboratories and immunoassay manufacturers must be aware of these limitations.
